It took me a couple days, I had to steal a few minutes here and there to work on it. I've been super busy this week. It's made with a combination of files from <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/">Little Scraps of Heaven Designs</a></b> and border templates from Kiwi Lane Designs.<br />

Last summer I spent 8 weeks in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It's a stunning place to explore. While there I had a visit from my Niece & her friend, along with their 4 children. I took them to some of my favorite places. Autrain Falls is one of them. The kids had a wonderful time exploring along the Autrain River and checking out the Falls. It's also Monday and that means it's time for a Monday Challenge over at Little Scraps of Heaven DT blog. This weeks challenge "Make it BIG". Here's what I did.<br />
<br />

I used the boy and girl from the<b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/category_24/Whats-New.htm"> "Car Wash"</a></b> set and made them BIG. Such fun. I also used my "new" border templates from Kiwi Lane Designs. Here are a couple close up shot of the kids.<br />

<br />
Their little "crocks" make me smile every time I see them. I made the border strips like pockets so I could tuck a couple more photos and some journaling in. I so love the "Framing" system that Kiwi Lane Designs has come up with, I ordered a few more pieces.<br />
<br />
This is what the pages look like with the photo tags pulled out.<br />

I used the <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_637/Just-a-Fishin.htm">Just a Fishin'</a> and <a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_639/Boy-in-Boat.htm">Boy in boat</a></b> files for my layout. You can find the pattern over at <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/">Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.</a></b> I also used something new! New is fun. I attended the Great Lakes Mega Meet over the weekend, very BIG scrapbooking expo. Found a company called <b><a href="http://www.kiwilane.com/">Kiwi Lane Designs.</a></b> They have a wonderful system they call "Framing". You can check it out here:<br />

Yes you heard me, only scraps. You can't even use a full sheet of background cardstock, it has to be scraps. So here's what I did. (Please forgive my photos, it was very overcast here yesterday. It's really not this dark of a layout.)<br />

I've been thinking about it for quite awhile now and the time seems right to start my own Paper Piecing/Layout business. As of last night <b>Keepsake Ave. Creations</b> is open for business. If you've seen a paper piecing or layout on my blog that you'd love to have, give me a shout out. Layouts I can recreate, I can make them similar (I may not have the pattern paper available). Individual paper piecings can be made to order, color & size can be changed if needed.<br />
<br />
You can follow me on Facebook at <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/KeepsakeAveCreations#">Keepsake Ave Creations</a></b>. You can send me email at keepsakeave@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you.<br />
<br />
I can't post and not share a project so this is one I did recently.<br />

I had such a good time creating this banner. My son even complimented me on it. For a 14 year old to say "Hey Mom, your spring thing is really cute." means so much. It's currently hanging in our living room off the mantle. I hope you find inspiration in all our banners on the <b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://littlescrapsofheavendt.blogspot.com/">DT blog</a></span></b>. We'd love to see what you come up with. For all the challenge details please visit the DT blog. You could win $20 in free patterns from<b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/"> Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. </a></b><br />

Have a Banner Monday!<br />

New record high temps and consecutive days in the 70's, plus it looks like we are not done yet. Put me in the Spring mood. It's Monday and must mean a new challenge over at <b><a href="http://littlescrapsofheavendt.blogspot.com/">Little Scraps of Heaven Designs DT blog.</a></b> Here's the sketch for this week.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I turned it into a 2 pager and added a couple more photo mats. I used the <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_581/Easter-Tweets.htm">Easter Tweets</a></b> file.<br />

The pattern pieces all come from <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/">Little Scraps of Heaven Designs</a></b>. The title is from <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_564/My-Lucky-Charm.htm">"My Lucky Charm"</a></b> collection.

I used the clover and made it really BIG, including the mat, then I shrunk the clover and made it a couple sizes to make all the smaller ones. Very happy with how this one came together.<br />
<br />
Here's one more look at the paper piecings-<br />

Well OK maybe not, so how about a challenge to get you going this week. Over on the <b><a href="http://littlescrapsofheavendt.blogspot.com/">Little Scraps of Heaven Design Team Blog</a></b> we have a new challenge posted. We all did our own layouts this week and the challenge is for you to scraplift one of us. Once you've done your layout, come back link it up to the blog or post it in the Facebook Fan page. Just remember you have to include a <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/">LSHD</a></b> paper piecing.<br />
<br />
This is what I did this week.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used the <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_511/Doggie-Doggie.htm">Doggie Doggie</a></b> collection from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is the top half of the layout-<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the bottom half-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
(Notice I forgot to add the small photo, oops. So I quickly printed the ones off I wanted to use and stuck them on there.) I did do some hand stitching on this layout. The original sketch shows stitching and I debated if I wanted to do some. The layout looked naked without it. If you are looking for a tutorial on hand stitching I'm going to refer you to Kinsey Wilson. She does amazing work, her hand stitching it Top Shelf. You can find her stitching information<b><a href="http://kinseygirl.typepad.com/handstitch/"> here</a></b>. Her main blog is called <b><a href="http://kinseygirl.typepad.com/my_weblog/">Kinseygirl</a></b> and you'll find some truly inspiring pages there.<br />
<br />
I hope your Monday goes well.<br />

Yeah!! It also means another DT challenge over at <b><a href="http://littlescrapsofheavendt.blogspot.com/">LSHD DT blog</a></b>. Yeah!! Here is the layout sketch for this week.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
And here is my take on it. (Sorry the photo seems dark, it was a bit overcast outside when I took it and the photos are old and a bit dark themselves.)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_CtbtjrZOPSWIfDAJMHGcIa9m_eHO6jVc4yz7GAqlSi398ceqbDGiY1_7075PAjb4z0lXW2WAO2DMMF0Ez9Fjpey30tLknwN83TCqnx9odQBAIIoLnOEsYRR3cuIaCrRitINnYvAUwbzv/s1600/IMG_0545.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_CtbtjrZOPSWIfDAJMHGcIa9m_eHO6jVc4yz7GAqlSi398ceqbDGiY1_7075PAjb4z0lXW2WAO2DMMF0Ez9Fjpey30tLknwN83TCqnx9odQBAIIoLnOEsYRR3cuIaCrRitINnYvAUwbzv/s400/IMG_0545.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And a couple close ups of the parts. I used the <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_559/Boy-on-a-Limb.htm">Boy on a Limb</a></b> file.<br />
<br />

<br />
I had to flip the file horizontally to make it work with my layout. I also increased the size of the tree to 11.5". I then added a bit of journaling to the trunk.<br />

<br />
I used the <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_428/Its-a-Mystery-Dress-Up.htm">It's a Mystery Dress Up</a></b> set over at <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/">Little Scraps of Heaven Designs</a></b>.<br />

<br />
<br />
Here's a close up of my Scooby Doo. I also used the barrel from the <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_429/Barrel-and-Crate.htm">Barrel and Crate </a></b>freebie. It's now a dollar download.<br />

I then sized a bunch of talk bubbles and scattered them around the layout. The pattern paper is from Basic Grey Waggs and Whiskers collection.<br />

I used a couple different pattern sets. The Big Cookie Monster piecing was last weeks freebie called <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_547/Cute-Cookie.htm">Cute Cookie </a></b>(it's still available for a short time, so grab it quick). I wanted a little blond haired boy in mine instead of a bear so I changed the face up. I used a face from the <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_465/Strike-A-Pose-Boy.htm">Strike a Pose- boy</a></b> collection and re-sized things so they fit inside the cookie monster head.<br />

So today we watched our boy win a District Hockey game and then relaxed for the afternoon. Tonight we will head over to our nephews house to watch the BIG game with family. But in the mean time I just might have to go make a layout and use this Amazing pattern set from <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/">Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. </a></b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now how cute is that! I know I'll have some pictures of the food spread and everyone watching the new 62" Flat Screen. (Men and their TV's LOL) The set is called <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_550/Super-Bowl-Party.htm">Super Bowl Party</a></b>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This mini is a paper bag folded up to form a pocket. It's actually 2 pockets. The big pocket holds 2 additional photo mats on each side. They are also double sided to hold lots of photos.<br />

My layout is 8x8 and went into my friends Baby book. I used the <b><a href="http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/item_211/Panda-Bear-Pattern.htm">Panda Bear pattern</a></b>. He's so cute, who couldn't LOVE him?<br />
<br />

Happy Crafting!<br />
